Update: On Thursday, all four lawyers, The Andry Law Firm and Andry Lerner filed a motion requesting a conference next month to address potential due process violations in the report. Also, Lionel “Tiger” Sutton, represented by Michael Walsh, a solo practitioner in Baton Rouge, LA., filed a motion for access to some of the records and materials relied upon in the report, as well more time to respond. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier agreed, giving them until October 18, and ordered special master Louis Freeh to provide them with redacted investigation records no later than Tuesday.
Lawyers targeted in a special report over suspected money laundering and other crimes linked to the $9.6 billion Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement with BP PLC have retained white-collar criminal attorneys as they prepare to object to the findings.
